sparky151 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The DK odds don't mean much. They are trying to attract bets from fans of the listed teams, that's all. Fields should have trade value but there are as many QB options as needs. So it's not a seller's market. The Saints are in no position to change QBs with Carr's salary guaranteed so they can be removed from the list of needy teams. Tamp and Mayfield seem happy together so he's probably not going anywhere. Minnesota has a lot of cap reasons to re-sign Cousins. If he reaches free agency, they take a pretty big dead money hit, while if they re-sign him, they can push it further down the road. A team which drafts Nix, McCarthy, or Penix won't want to throw them into the fire. Thus the long careers of guys like Jacoby Brissett or Tyrod Taylor. Minshew is in that category. Fields is in the category of former starter with some tools who could use a change of scenery. Sam Howell is in that bucket too. Maybe Kenny Pickett as well. Russell Wilson is probably first choice in that group. Fields certainly has the most athleticism of that group and was the highest ranked prospect entering the league. So there's likely a market for him. But it may not pay much. I don't think a first rounder is realistic. A team may give up a second rounder or more likely a third in 2024 plus a conditional pick in 2025. But there are teams for whom Jake Browning would be an upgrade and maybe they prefer him.

As to Browning though, he’s an exclusive rights FA, so it will cost CIN basically nothing to keep him, and he showed to be able to run CIN’s offense capably were Burrow to go down again. He’s not going anywhere in 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would say no? 1 for 11 + Justin Jefferson As much as this won't happen it's an interesting concept... Go for the dream... Bears trade pick #9 + Justin Fields to NE for pick #1 and add MHJ to Caleb - values Fields as the 20th overall pick. Risky... Bears trade Justin Fields to Pitt for WR George Pickens + 2nd - values Pickens around a mid 2nd if Fields is seen as worth a mid to late 1st which seems to be where the national writers think he's worth. Give Waldron his guy... Justin Fields straight up for DK Metcalf I wouldn't be against any of these to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

refundmytickets Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 What are the chances Fields is not an NFL starting QB in '24? There are a lot of openings. There are a lot of QBs in the market and a lot of draftable QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of QBs in the market and a lot of draftable QBs. Outside of injury keeping him out I'd say pretty low. He's better as-is than a lot of guys that started last year, and I'm really hoping there's that one coach (or preferably 3 or 4) that know they can make a star out of him. If we do get a good return on trading him (which I still am not expecting) we can thank Getsy for creating so much ambinguity: "Is this guy not seeing reads or is his only option to throw a screen to a DL while 3 punt returners block for him?" I would be over the moon for a first but I still think most likely we get something like a could 4th rounders and conditional stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had AJ McCarron as Browning's backup late last season and he could certainly back up Burrow if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it the other way - for most teams with a big money QB, if that guy goes down the season is essentially over. That wasn’t the case with CIN in 2023. That has far more value IMO for the Bengals than a mid round pick would. McCarron on the other hand was out of the league for two seasons before he was signed by CIN after the Burrow injury, and even if they traded Browning and upgraded in FA from McCarron as Burrow’s backup it would cost them significantly more on a contract and they might end up with a worse player. It’s a possibility, but seemingly a pretty remote one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
